Jim, I am with you in the feeling the 44-60 is a nice looking round and should be a good all around mid-range round. Dave H. owner of Lone Star Rifle thought well of it as well. I have seen one of his rollers chambered is this round. I have tried to do some research on line on the cartridge but have not been able to really learn much about it. One up side to this round is that it is easily made from 45-70 cases. Neck it down, trim, fire and trim to length and your done. If you like it well enough you can easily have it chambered in a lever action as well. Its short enough to work in a 76 Winchester, as well as marlin and Winchester copy's.
Baco offers reformed brass. I had gotten one case from them and it was a reformed 348 case, it will hold a bot over 40 g of powder. Reformed Rem or Starline brass ups the capacity to around 50 plus grains. Am thinking the reformed BACO brass would make for dandy chicken load and the thinner brass better suited for the longer ranges. Also there is getting to be better selections of bullets available as time goes on in the GG catagory as well as PP bullets.
